Stromberg 97 Carburetor

Stromberg is one of the most iconic names in automotive history, specifically within the hot rod and classic car community. The brand gained legendary status for its dual-barrel '97' carburetor, which became the standard for performance on the Ford Flathead V8 engine during the mid-20th century. While the original production in the United States ceased decades ago, the brand was revitalized for the modern era to serve enthusiasts looking for authentic, high-quality components.

Today, the brand operates as Stromberg Carburetor Ltd, based in the United Kingdom. This modern iteration of the company has meticulously re-engineered the classic design using contemporary manufacturing techniques while maintaining absolute visual and functional authenticity. Unlike vintage parts that may suffer from wear or outdated metallurgy, these new units are manufactured in England to modern tolerances.

Ownership of the brand and its intellectual property currently resides with Stromberg Carburetor Ltd, an independent British company. They have expanded the product line beyond the original 97 model to include 'Big97' high-flow variants, linkages, and electronic ignition systems, ensuring that the vintage aesthetic remains compatible with modern performance requirements and fuels.
